Dynamic Quality. The latter is much too unsettling than to be sought
out deliberately.

Gene, i didnt write the first paragraph...i was responding to Bodvar's post.
i am unsure what sounds contradictory to you, the relationship between the
two paragraphs or my comment on the intellect being experienced thru zazen.
if you clear this up for me i will be happy to elaborate.

Sorry Glove for wrongly attributing the first paragraph.
It (the first one) says to me that meditation is a 'journey to [experiencing] more basic value levels', down to Biology.
The second paragraph says 'it is the intellect that is experienced'.
So, to me, these two paragraphs state two different things, which is understandable since each of them comes from different people.

I would appreciate opinions (not just from Bodvar and Glove) of what are we possibly touching upon while in zazen. I should have probably started new subject, but am afraid to do it in the middle of conversation.
